Back from the market.

A few posts ago, I wrote about designery markets that were on in Melbourne.

I was disappointed about Hide & Seek Market that according to the newspaper was supposed to be on last, last Sunday (20 March), however it was not on (probably some miscommunication between the market organiser and newspaper).  So I walked away with an empty heart but a coffee in hand.  So all was okay in the world. According to the website, it’s on again (maybe) Sunday 3 April.

Last weekend the Finders Keepers market was on at Docklands.  I went on Saturday after delightful coffee with Something beginning with F in my old hood before Saturday afternoon drinks.

Arriving at the market, I was in my element.

Plenty of designers showcasing their goods, which ranged from handmade prints, jewellery, cute babies out fits, and bags.  I’ve been to enough of these things to not buy spur of the moment, (unless it’s a bargain) but rather I enjoy checking out what’s new and who’s making it.  I did pick up a wonderful tote for a birthday present and a range of designer business cards – designers to keep my eye on.

I did covet one of these pouf / footstool / floor cushion thing by Mookah. But Mr Purfect is not convinced… yet.

Did I also mention that the Taco Truck was there?  OMG. Delicious. I have been wanting to try Taco Truck for aaages, after reading about it here and was discouraged by the idea that their location is advertised on Twitter and… I don’t have one of those things. Gasp.

Did you get a chance to visit Finders Keepers and did you covet/purchase anything?
